/**
 * @brief The base class for import and export filters.
 *
 * Derive your filter class from this base class and implement
 * the @ref convert() method. Don't forget to specify the Q_OBJECT
 * macro in your class even if you don't use signals or slots.
 * This is needed as filters are created on the fly.
 * The m_chain member allows access to the @ref KoFilterChain
 * which invokes the filter to query for input/output.
 *
 * @note Take care: The m_chain pointer is invalid while the constructor
 * runs due to the implementation -- @em don't use it in the constructor.
 * After the constructor, when running the @ref convert() method it's
 * guaranteed to be valid, so no need to check against 0.
 *
 * @note If the code is compiled in debug mode, setting CALLIGRA_DEBUG_FILTERS
 * environment variable to any value disables deletion of temporary files while
 * importing/exporting. This is useful for testing purposes.
 *
 * @author Werner Trobin <trobin@kde.org>
 * @todo the class has no constructor and therefore cannot initialize its private class
